Carr has to feel rug pulled. [merged} (1 Viewer)

They lured Derek Carr to New Orleans with the promise that he would finally have a good defense. Once DC4 signs, they doesn’t resign any defensive line players, filling it out in the draft to save tons of money. Derek already committed so he can’t leave no matter how bad the defense gets. I could definitely believe this was intentional

Definitely seems intentional.
Not signing guys that were under-performing to over scale deals and recouping the comp picks.

 

[killerdescore]

We didn't lose anything insanely good ,the draft is full of great defensive players (even in the free agency there's still a lot of good players)
And we didn't overpaid for average players ,so no ,the saints aren't tricky ,they are logical

Last time we paid guys like that was awful ,Laurinaitis ,Byrd ,Browner (maybe even Kruger)

I’m sure Carr has belief in DA to right the ship. We have a few new Def coaches including DC. Maybe they’re wanting to do something different, considering stopping the run regressed last year. All the saints would need to do would be to sign Kwon,Rankins, CJ to stop the fans‘ revolt.

I seriously doubt that Carr and his agent weren’t a part of extensive talks about the team’s current shape and plans.

 

[gregh]

the core of the defense at every levek is still here, just need to load up on role players. they can get 2 good DT's in the first 2 picks, and cheap

 

[Snakehead]

For a team that plans years in advance, some actually think these moves weren't discussed with DC when he was here on his multi-day visit? This has been mapped out and more than likely going as planned. Had the FO wanted any of these FA "losses" to be re-signed, they would have been.

So, maybe outside of Ellis, which one of the defensive players who were over-paid by division rivals would you have over-paid to keep? And I wouldn’t have paid Ellis what he got from Atlanta.

How many of those guys do you figure were factored into the Saints 2023 plans?

Also, how many of those guys who were over-paid by division rivals, would you not trade for an inexpensive drafted or UDFA player on the upside of their potential?

I’m no GM - but I don’t think any of those guys were in the plans for 2023. So I don’t think any of this changes anything that Carr was sold on for 2023.


Players whom their current team are negotiating with, typically don’t sign deals with division rivals in the first hours of free agency. That’s just my opinion of course and doesn’t reflect that of our front office - obviously.

Wow, some fans are really ready to jump off the cliff. Keep calm Who Dats. You don't get a prize for winning Free Agency

 

[JackDiesel]

The front page is littered with these kind of low IQ posts. Hopefully the mods can merge them, especially when the titles are pure click bait.

At least the Goodell Clown is back! Well earned OP.

I am sure that is exactly how it went down.

So glad the Saints signed a guy that can easily be fooled like that.

 

[OutlawSaint]

We are making the defense better for Carr, whats the problem? Those guys that left can easily be replaced and upgraded for what they brought to the table consistently or inconsistently

 

[saintfan1972]

Maybe, just maybe, we are going to start drafting guys and not overpaying high priced FA's. Build through the draft and get a piece here and there. That's how you fix the salary cap also. Give it time.
